The U.S. Postal Service® is an essential part of the shipping mix for today’s e-commercebusinesses. Regardless of the size of your business or how many packages you ship, using Endicia to access the USPS can help save you money and create a great customer experience.

The USPS does not charge extra fees for services like address correction, rural delivery or Saturday delivery. And, with USPS there are never any fuel surcharges – the Private carriers, like FedEx and UPS, charge up to 5.25% for fuel and up to $3.65 per package for Residential delivery for a ground shipment.

MOST AFFORDABLEFOR LIGHT AND MEDIUM-WEIGHT PACKAGES

FedEx and UPS use Dimensional (DIM) Weight (the size of the package) to determine the rate charged for a package – for large, lightweight shipments this can increase the cost dramatically, not including the added surcharges!

END-TO-END PACKAGE TRACKING

The USPS provides up to 11 scan events per package – that’s on par with FedEx and UPS. You and your customers will always know the status of your package.

MORE INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY CHOICES

The U.S. Postal Service lets you balance speed and affordability by offering 4 different online service options for international shipments. From Global Express Guaranteed with delivery in 1-3 days to First Class Package International Service with a starting price of $9.50, you can decide what’s best for you and your business. And, you can schedule a carrier pickup from your home or office.

CONVENIENCE

USPS offers free package pickup and over 31,000 retail locations within the U.S. (that’s more than 4x the number of FedEx and UPS locations combined).
